Veteran pass-rusher Von Miller attended the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine to learn more about becoming a general manager in the future, according to DNVR’s\u00a0Zac Stevens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Per Stevens, Miller has “long wanted to be a GM after his playing days” are over. <\/p>\n

The eight-time Pro Bowler appeared in 17 games with the Washington Commanders during the 2025 season, which included three starts.<\/p>\n

Miller has attended the Combine in the past, meeting with multiple front office personnel at the event in 2023.<\/p>\n

“You gotta build relationships,” Miller said of being a general manager at the time, per ESPN’s\u00a0Alaina Getzenberg<\/a>. “How do I know this guy’s a great coach? How do I know he’s a bad coach? How will he fit into my culture? What is my culture?”<\/p>\n

“To take the next step, I want the people around me to know, like, OK, nothing was given to me. I worked,” he added. “I evaluated these players, spent time with coaching, scouting department, spent time with the pro personnel guys … I want to be in that position where I know my s–t.”<\/p>\n

Miller’s ideal career path isn’t unheard of. San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after serving as a stellar safety from 1993 through 2007.<\/p>\n

Despite Miller’s interest in moving to the front office, he’s still\u00a0looking to continue playing<\/a>\u00a0in 2026 as he prepares to hit free agency. He’ll be 37 years old at the start of next season.<\/p>\n

Miller wrapped up a resurgent 2025 campaign with the Commanders, racking up 26 tackles, 15 quarterback hits and nine sacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran pass-rusher Von Miller attended the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine to learn more about becoming a general manager…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-506400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
